Banana fiber yarn

[A_nony_mouse]

LM is here visiting in Mouseville. She, Nony and Rat went out and played. LM found some royal purple banana yarn and just had to buy enough for a small scarf (or something). Has anyone here used banana yarn before? What did you think of it? Nony checked out some kid/silk yarn and will probably buy some for a future project. LM and Rat checked out the fabrics in several quilting shops. All in all, a nice time was had by The Three Mouses.

I'm glad you had a good time.

I haven't heard of banana yarn before. I hope it knits up nicely.

I have heard of Banana fibre yarn on a website somewhere but don't know anything about it, though I seem to remember they said it was nice and soft.

You'll have to let us know what you think.

it sounds delicious....i have seen banana yarn before but have never used it...sorry!!!!
it will be interesting to see how you get on with it.
It`s great to experiment with a different yarn, you never really know how it will knit up.

I am guessing it is not made from the fruit, but some other part of the plant, the leaves? the peel? the bark? Makes one wonder.

Yes...it comes from the bark of banana plants
